Class Description

---

The W+W  class is a 45 minute long class for kids approx. ages 18 months - 3  years old.  This is the only class at JGNW when an adult accompanies the  kids in class.  The adults help with the directions, keeping the kids  in the correct space, and even a little demonstrating when possible!   The kids work on things like different body movements, body positions,  bouncing, balancing, hanging, going upside, and much more!  We have tons  of fun training aids that the kids love to play on! 

The  P1 class for kids approx. ages 3- 5 years old is a 60 minute long class  for kids who are new or beginners at gymnastics but can handle doing  class without a parent helping.  In this class the kids learn the very  basics of gymnastics.  They learn how to do different types of rolling,  headstanding, handstanding, and the beginning of a cartwheel.  They  learn different types of walking and balancing on the balance beam.   They start to get grip strength by hanging, swinging, and holding  themselves up on a bar.  And of course, the kids favorite, all types of  jumping on the trampolines!  

The  P2 class is for kids who are approx. 4- 6 years old.  The kids have  either started with JGNW and have been through the P1 class already or  they have gymnastics experience from another gym.  In this class they  learn to perfect and add onto the skill they learned in P1 and they  start some new more advanced skills.  During this class we also start to  develop more strength and flexibility in the gymnasts so they can learn  the harder skills.  The P2 class is a little bit more serious but for  most a lot more fun.  In this class the kids are really starting to get  some skills! 

This is our most popular class.  The recreation 1 class is for beginner  school age kids approx ages 6- 12 years old.  Because the ages vary  widely, when you register we will work with you to put your child in a  class with other kids close in age.  In this class the kids work on all  the basic gymnastics skills that you can think of.  From handstands and  cartwheels to walkovers and handsprings.  They start to try some skills  other than walking on the beam.  On the bars they learn correct swinging  and different types of circling around the bar.  We have tons of  training aids like inclines and barrels that help the kids so they can  do lots of turns without waiting in line!  At JGNW we strive to have the  kids being busy not standing! 

The  Rec 2 class is for kids ages approx. 7+.  This class is for kids who  have either completed the Rec 1class at JGNW or have prior experience in  a different gym.  In this class the kids likely have a lot of the basic  gymnastics skills down and are ready to add on to them or learn some  advanced skills.  Some of the things they work on are front and back  handsprings, and maybe flipping on the trampoline.  Using both the low  bar and high bar for different advanced skills.  On the balance beam  starting to take some basic floor skills (like cartwheeling) and trying  them on the beam.  This class is for kids serious about gymnastics but  not quite ready or wanting to be a competitor.
